SpikeCalls/FlyDrones
A fruit fly connectome as a drone pilot. Camera -> fly eyes -> spiking brain -> descending neurons -> drone. Live 3D demo in your browser.
About the project
Turns a fruit fly connectome (MaleCNS, 166k neurons) into a drone pilot: camera → visual neurons → spiking network → descending neurons → drone commands. Browser demo runs with no install.
Useful for
- Run the browser demo and play the swat game where the fly dodges a swatter
- Run flydrones demo --live with a simulated room and scripted hand gestures
- Probe descending neuron responses via flydrones inspect by stimulating neuron groups

Why it’s trending
- 26 stars so far today, about 37 expected by the end of the day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 7.1× that of the previous week and a half.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 176 stars.
- Top new repositories this week: #64.
- About 24 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
